in the late 1940's and early 50's, most americans knew little about indochina, frances colony in Southeast Asia. during the Cold war, however American officials became concerned the region would fall to communism and if it fell all of southeast asia would fall to communism. America didnt' want that. American troops were sent to fight in Vietnam.
The cold war policy of containment led the united states to become increasingly involved in events in Vietnam. Political pressures led the u.s. to become deeply involved in the Civil War in Vietnam.
The failure of the U.S. forces to defeat the Vietcong and the deaths of thousands of American Soldiers led many Americans to question the nations involvement in Vietnam.
In 1971 america pulls out of the vietnam and we lose.
